Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 713 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 started at KLGB Long Beach Daugherty Field with a taxi time of 11 minutes covering 2 nm before departing runway 30. The takeoff distance was 1,537m, with a liftoff speed of 156 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 25 °C with a 6 kn wind coming from 209° resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a tailwind of 2 kn.
The enroute climb began 1 mile north of Signal Hill, ascending from 1,086 ft to 38,158 ft over 22 minutes and covering 141 nm. The enroute level cruise phase began 7 miles south of CN64 Desert Center and lasted 39 minutes, covering 334 nm. The enroute descent phase commenced 9 miles southwest of Lordsburg, descending from 38,109 ft to 5,815 ft over 23 minutes and covering 134 nm.
The landing took place on runway 22 at KELP El Paso Intl with a runway length of 3,237 m. The height at threshold was 67 ft agl, with a speed of 139 kn at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 714 m from the threshold at a speed of 129 kn, with a VSI of -270 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 0 °C with calm wind conditions.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 618 nm over a duration of 111 minutes. The flight used 4,146 kg of fuel during the journey.
First of all, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 86.1%! This is a great accomplishment and shows that you have the skills and abilities needed to safely land an aircraft.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see where improvements can be made.
During the Approach Phase, it's great to hear that you had good glideslope alignment. This is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. Keep up the good work in maintaining this alignment during future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, there are a few areas that can be improved. Firstly, having the threshold height above target is something to pay attention to. Aim to adjust your approach to ensure you are at the correct height for a smooth touchdown. Additionally, having a very poor landing flare can lead to a hard landing, which is something to avoid in order to protect the aircraft and ensure passenger comfort. Lastly, maintaining bank angle stability during landing is important for a safe touchdown.
Finally, in the Touchdown Phase, it's good to see that your touchdown rate was firm and your speed was on target. However, reaching the touchdown point 298 meters beyond the touchdown zone indicates a need for adjustment in your approach and timing. Additionally, landing 7.9 meters from the centerline suggests that there may have been some drift during the landing.
Overall, this landing score shows that you have a good foundation in aircraft landing skills, but there are areas for improvement. Focus on maintaining a stable approach, executing a proper landing flare, and refining your touchdown point and centerline alignment. With continued practice and attention to detail, you can further improve your aircraft landing performance. Keep up the hard work and dedication to safety in the skies. Well done!
